Description

La présente invention concerne une fenêtre ouvrante d'aéronef, et notamment une fenêtre latérale d'un poste de pilotage destinée à être manoeuvrée manuellement par un membre de l'équipage. L'invention vise encore un aéronef comportant un poste de pilotage (ou cockpit) équipé d'au moins une telle fenêtre.The present invention relates to an aircraft opening window, and in particular a cockpit side window intended to be manually operated by a member of the crew. The invention also relates to an aircraft comprising a cockpit (or cockpit) equipped with at least one such window.

On connaît des fenêtres latérales ouvrantes pour poste de pilotage. Ces fenêtres qui sont manoeuvrables depuis l'intérieur de l'aéronef, forment des ouvertures présentant des fonctions très utiles.There are known opening side windows for cockpit. These windows which are maneuverable from the inside of the aircraft, form openings with very useful functions.

Notamment, elles constituent des issues de secours, des aérations du poste de pilotage pour évacuer des fumées en cas d'incendie ou encore, offrent un moyen simple de voir la piste en cas de manque de visibilité, par exemple en raison d'une glace frontale sale.In particular, they constitute emergency exits, air vents of the cockpit to evacuate fumes in case of fire or provide a simple way to see the runway in case of lack of visibility, for example because of an ice dirty frontal.

On connaît ainsi une fenêtre de poste de pilotage comprenant une vitre fixée sur un encadrement rigide, lui-même relié à la structure par un mécanisme de verrouillage apte à immobiliser la fenêtre, par rapport à la structure environnante de l'aéronef en position ouverte, fermée ou semi-fermée.There is thus known a cockpit window comprising a window fixed on a rigid frame, itself connected to the structure by a locking mechanism adapted to immobilize the window, relative to the surrounding structure of the aircraft in the open position, closed or semi-closed.

Une poignée unique permet de réaliser toutes les manoeuvres de la fenêtre. Ainsi, depuis son siège, le pilote, ou co-pilote, appuie sur un bouton de déverrouillage de la poignée, la tourne, puis la tire vers l'arrière pour faire reculer l'ensemble ouvrant formé par la vitre, son encadrement rigide et son mécanisme.A single handle allows all the maneuvers of the window. Thus, from its seat, the pilot, or co-pilot, presses a button for unlocking the handle, turns it, then pulls it backwards to retract the opening assembly formed by the window, its rigid frame and its mechanism.

Cet ensemble est alors guidé en déplacement par un rail inférieur et un rail supérieur, lesquels font partie intégrante de la structure du poste de pilotage. Pour cela, le mécanisme de la fenêtre est en liaison avec le fond de ces rails par l'intermédiaire d'au moins trois galets. Chacun de ces galets, complété d'un jeu de galets en liaison avec les bords internes des rails, est porté par un chariot formant un boggie.This assembly is then guided in displacement by a lower rail and an upper rail, which form an integral part of the cockpit structure. For this, the mechanism of the window is connected to the bottom of these rails via at least three rollers. Each of these rollers, completed with a set of rollers in connection with the inner edges of the rails, is carried by a carriage forming a bogie.

Cependant, on constate non seulement que le réglage de ces boggies est complexe, cette tâche étant consommatrice de temps, mais encore que ces boggies présentent une usure relativement rapide nécessitant des interventions de maintenance par des opérateurs qualifiés, lesquelles sont coûteuses.However, we note not only that the adjustment of these trucks is complex, this task being time consuming, but also that these trucks have a relatively fast wear requiring maintenance interventions by skilled operators, which are expensive.

Par ailleurs, ce mécanisme comporte deux crochets placés au dessus du montant supérieur de l'encadrement rigide de la vitre, et deux autres crochets reliés aux boggies se déplaçant dans le rail inférieur. Ces crochets permettent d'encaisser l'impact à haute énergie du choc d'un oiseau sur la fenêtre en transférant les efforts créés par ce choc à la structure environnante du poste de pilotage. L'ensemble ouvrant est également maintenu en position de fermeture grâce à un principe d'arc-boutement des supports des boggies.Furthermore, this mechanism comprises two hooks placed above the upper amount of the rigid frame of the window, and two other hooks connected to the bogies moving in the lower rail. These hooks can absorb the high-energy impact of a bird's impact on the window by transferring the forces created by this shock to the surrounding structure of the cockpit. The opening assembly is also maintained in the closed position thanks to a principle of buttressing the supports of the bogies.

Ce principe d'arc-boutement est indispensable au bon fonctionnement de l'ensemble ouvrant. En effet, en plus de cette fonction de maintien de l'ensemble ouvrant en position de fermeture, il constitue une sécurité supplémentaire en cas de choc à l'oiseau. Sous l'effet d'un choc, on obtient un sur-verrouillage de l'ensemble ouvrant, l'ensemble ouvrant ayant alors tendance à se verrouiller plutôt qu'à se déverrouiller.This principle of bracing is essential to the proper functioning of the opening assembly. Indeed, in addition to this function of maintaining the assembly opening in the closed position, it is an additional security in case of impact to the bird. Under the effect of a shock, we obtain an over-locking of the opening assembly, the opening assembly then tending to lock rather than unlock.

Néanmoins, ce principe d'arc-boutement présente des inconvénients, notamment au niveau des réglages (jeux, écrasement du joint d'étanchéité du pourtour de l'ensemble ouvrant, etc.).However, this bracing principle has drawbacks, especially in terms of adjustments (games, crushing of the seal around the opening assembly, etc.).

On constate, par ailleurs, que le montant arrière de l'encadrement rigide de la fenêtre a été largement épaissi en raison de la position des crochets, et ce, afin de pouvoir résister à l'impact d'un choc à l'oiseau.It can be seen, moreover, that the rear amount of the rigid frame of the window has been greatly thickened because of the position of the hooks, and this, in order to be able to withstand the impact of a shock to the bird.

Ce système d'immobilisation de l'ensemble ouvrant, de par le nombre de pièces qu'il requiert, et l'épaississement de l'encadrement mobile qui en découle, est donc améliorable quant au poids total de la fenêtre ainsi équipée.This immobilizing system of the opening assembly, by the number of pieces it requires, and the thickening of the mobile frame that follows, is therefore improvable as to the total weight of the window thus equipped.

Lors du dégagement de l'ensemble ouvrant, un premier mouvement en translation de cet ensemble causé par la rotation de la poignée est obtenu grâce à un système de renvoie par biellette et une transmission par cardan à la partie supérieure de l'ensemble ouvrant.During the release of the opening assembly, a first translational movement of this assembly caused by the rotation of the handle is obtained thanks to a link return system and a cardan transmission at the top of the opening assembly.

Or, il est connu que ces joints de cardan qui assurent la transmission mécanique présentent plusieurs inconvénients, notamment au niveau de l'encombrement, et de la masse.However, it is known that these universal joints that provide mechanical transmission have several disadvantages, particularly in terms of size, and mass.

La présente invention vise à répondre à ces divers inconvénients en proposant une fenêtre de poste de pilotage d'aéronef dont la conception originale permette de résoudre les problèmes techniques posés par les fenêtres de l'art antérieur.The present invention aims to address these various disadvantages by providing an aircraft cockpit window whose original design allows to solve the technical problems posed by the windows of the prior art.

L'invention vise, en conséquence, une fenêtre ouvrante de poste de pilotage d'aéronef, simple dans sa conception et dans son mode opératoire, robuste et présentant un encombrement intérieur réduit tout en assurant un allègement important en poids par rapport aux fenêtres ouvrantes de cockpit de l'art antérieur.The invention therefore aims at an aircraft cockpit opening window, simple in its design and in its operating mode, robust and having a reduced interior dimensions while ensuring a significant weight reduction compared to the opening windows of the aircraft. cockpit of the prior art.

Elle autorise également une ouverture manuelle en moins de dix secondes pour une utilisation en tant qu'issue de secours, sans assistance d'aucune autre source d'énergie telle que pyrotechnique. Enfin, cette fenêtre résiste au choc à l'oiseau.It also allows manual opening in less than ten seconds for use as an emergency exit without assistance from any other source of energy such as pyrotechnics. Finally, this window resists shock to the bird.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une fenêtre ouvrante d'aéronef comprenant au moins une vitre munie d'un encadrement mobile, un ensemble comprenant ledit encadrement mobile et ladite au moins une vitre étant mobile par rapport à un encadrement fixe, un organe de manoeuvre dudit ensemble mobile, un dispositif d'ouverture/fermeture et de verrouillage/déverrouillage dudit ensemble mobile actionné par ledit organe de manoeuvre et des moyens de guidage et de support dudit ensemble mobile.For this purpose, the invention relates to an aircraft opening window comprising at least one window provided with a movable frame, an assembly comprising said movable frame and said at least one window being movable relative to a fixed frame, a body of actuating said moving assembly, a device for opening / closing and locking / unlocking said movable assembly actuated by said operating member and means for guiding and supporting said moving assembly.

Selon l'invention,

  • ledit encadrement fixe comporte au moins un logement pour recevoir une partie au moins d'un premier bord latéral dudit encadrement mobile, ladite partie dudit premier bord latéral venant en appui dans ledit au moins un logement par lequel ou lesquels ledit premier bord latéral est maintenu lorsque la fenêtre est en position de fermeture, et
  • ladite partie au moins du premier bord latéral étant reçue dans ledit logement, les moyens de guidage et de support de cet ensemble mobile autorisent une rotation de cet ensemble autour d'un axe de rotation passant par le premier bord latéral de manière à placer l'autre bord latéral de cet encadrement mobile en position de fermeture ou de dégagement.
According to the invention,
  • said fixed frame comprises at least one housing for receiving at least a portion of a first side edge of said movable frame, said part of said first side edge bearing in said at least one housing by which said first side edge is maintained when the window is in the closed position, and
  • said at least part of the first lateral edge being received in said housing, the guiding and supporting means of this moving assembly allow a rotation of this assembly about a passing axis of rotation. by the first side edge so as to place the other side edge of the movable frame in the closed position or release.

Ainsi, lors de la fermeture de la fenêtre, l'ensemble mobile vient se loger derrière une ou plusieurs butées fixes solidaires de l'encadrement fixe formant chacune un logement, puis se verrouille sur le bord opposé au premier bord latéral. De ce fait, il n'y a plus de mécanisme de verrouillage au niveau de ce premier bord latéral allégeant en conséquence la fenêtre et la rendant plus facile à régler.Thus, when closing the window, the movable assembly is housed behind one or more fixed stops integral with the fixed frame each forming a housing, and then locks on the edge opposite the first side edge. As a result, there is no longer a locking mechanism at this first side edge which consequently lightening the window and making it easier to adjust.

De préférence, l'ensemble mobile vient se loger derrière plusieurs butées formant chacune un logement.Preferably, the movable assembly is housed behind several stops each forming a housing.

L'ouverture de cette fenêtre peut avantageusement rester, pour sa part, classique puisqu'elle peut se faire en reculant l'ensemble mobile vers l'arrière.The opening of this window may advantageously remain, for its part, conventional since it can be done by moving the moving assembly backwards.

Dans différents modes de réalisation particuliers de cette fenêtre ouvrante d'aéronef, chacun ayant ses avantages particuliers et susceptibles de nombreuses combinaisons techniques possibles :

  • le premier bord latéral étant incliné, cet axe de rotation est parallèle à ce premier bord latéral pour permettre à ce dernier d'être reçu dans ledit au moins un logement sur toute sa hauteur,
In various particular embodiments of this aircraft opening window, each having its particular advantages and capable of many possible technical combinations:
  • the first lateral edge being inclined, this axis of rotation is parallel to this first lateral edge to allow the latter to be received in said at least one housing over its entire height,

On entend par « inclinaison dudit premier bord latéral », une inclinaison de ce premier bord latéral par rapport à un plan passant par le seuil de fenêtre.

  • les parties supérieure et inférieure de ce premier bord latéral étant placées sur l'axe de rotation, au moins une de ces parties comprend un bras d'extension de l'encadrement mobile,
The term "inclination of said first lateral edge" means an inclination of this first lateral edge with respect to a plane passing through the window sill.
  • the upper and lower parts of this first lateral edge being placed on the axis of rotation, at least one of these parts comprises an extension arm of the mobile frame,

De préférence, c'est la partie inférieure de ce premier bord latéral qui comporte ledit bras d'extension de l'encadrement mobile.Preferably, it is the lower part of this first lateral edge which comprises said extension arm of the mobile frame.

Chacun desdits moyens de guidage et de support comprend une bille porteuse placée à l'extrémité d'un organe de support pour assurer la fonction support, cet organe de support étant relié à l'encadrement mobile.Each of said guide and support means comprises a bearing ball placed at the end of a support member to provide the support function, this support member being connected to the movable frame.

De manière avantageuse, cet organe de support est placé à l'extrémité supérieure de l'encadrement mobile du côté de son premier bord latéral destiné à être reçu dans le logement de l'encadrement fixe de la fenêtre qui lui est associé. Un second organe de support est placé à l'extrémité inférieure du même encadrement mobile.Advantageously, this support member is placed at the upper end of the movable frame on the side of its first side edge intended to be received in the housing of the fixed frame of the window associated therewith. A second support member is placed at the lower end of the same mobile frame.

De plus, ces organes de support sont chacun équipés d'un galet de roulement placé en contact avec un organe de guidage, de préférence un rail, pour assurer la fonction de guidage.In addition, these support members are each equipped with a roller placed in contact with a guide member, preferably a rail, to provide the guiding function.

De préférence, l'ensemble de support et de guidage placé sous le bord latéral de l'encadrement mobile opposé à celui destiné à être reçu dans ledit au moins un logement de l'encadrement fixe de la fenêtre, comporte un bras tel qu'un levier, mobile en rotation et portant à son extrémité un galet destiné à venir prendre appui contre un flanc du rail inférieur pour assurer le mouvement d'ouverture de la fenêtre.Preferably, the support and guide assembly placed under the lateral edge of the movable frame opposite that intended to be received in said at least one housing of the fixed frame of the window, comprises an arm such as a lever, mobile in rotation and carrying at its end a roller intended to bear against a side of the lower rail to ensure the opening movement of the window.

De manière plus générale, chaque ensemble de support et de guidage comprend un galet de roulement porté par un organe de support ayant un logement dans lequel est placé une bille porteuse de sorte que cette bille porteuse soit au moins partiellement placée en saillie de cet ensemble.More generally, each support and guide assembly comprises a roller bearing carried by a support member having a housing in which is placed a bearing ball so that the carrier ball is at least partially projecting from this assembly.

Un tel ensemble de support et de guidage est donc avantageusement apte à se mouvoir dans plusieurs directions et à répondre instantanément à une sollicitation de changement d'inclinaison.Such a support and guide assembly is therefore advantageously able to move in several directions and to respond instantaneously to a request for change of inclination.

L'organe de support de la bille porteuse comprend un élément d'accouplement de cet ensemble à l'ensemble mobile de la fenêtre.The supporting member of the ball carrier comprises a coupling element of this assembly to the movable assembly of the window.

La Figure 1 montre une fenêtre d'aéronef selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention. Cette fenêtre comprend un encadrement fixe 1 ainsi qu'une vitre 2 munie d'un encadrement mobile 3. De manière classique, cette vitre 2 et son encadrement mobile 3 forme un ensemble mobile destiné à être manipulé par un membre de l'équipage situé à l'intérieur du poste de pilotage.The Figure 1 shows an aircraft window according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. This window comprises a fixed frame 1 and a window 2 provided with a mobile frame 3. In a conventional manner, this window 2 and its mobile frame 3 forms a mobile assembly intended to be handled by a member of the crew located at inside the cockpit.

Pour manoeuvrer cet ensemble mobile, le membre de l'équipage dispose d'une poignée 4 unique qui est articulée.To maneuver this mobile assembly, the crew member has a single handle 4 which is hinged.

L'encadrement mobile 3 de la fenêtre coopère avec l'encadrement fixe 1 par des liaisons en trois points assurant une liaison isostatique entre cet encadrement mobile 3 et l'encadrement fixe 1.The mobile frame 3 of the window cooperates with the fixed frame 1 by links at three points ensuring an isostatic connection between the mobile frame 3 and the fixed frame 1.

Des moyens de guidage et de support autorisent l'ouverture de la fenêtre par un dégagement de l'ensemble mobile de sa position de fermeture, suivi d'un coulissement de l'ensemble mobile vers l'arrière.Guide and support means allow the opening of the window by disengaging the movable assembly from its closed position, followed by sliding of the movable assembly rearwardly.

La Figure 2 montre la fenêtre dans une telle position de dégagement. Le premier bord latéral 5, qui est ici le bord latéral avant de l'encadrement mobile 3, est reçu dans trois logements formés par trois butées 6, 7, 8 fixes solidaires de l'encadrement fixe 1 tandis que l'autre bord latéral 9 de cet encadrement mobile 3, ici le bord latéral arrière, est placé à distance de l'ouverture 10 délimitée par l'encadrement fixe 1.The Figure 2 shows the window in such a release position. The first lateral edge 5, which is here the front lateral edge of the mobile frame 3, is received in three housings formed by three stops 6, 7, 8 fixed integral with the fixed frame 1 while the other side edge 9 of this mobile frame 3, here the rear lateral edge, is placed at a distance from the opening 10 delimited by the fixed frame 1.

Le déplacement de l'ensemble mobile de la position de dégagement à la position de fermeture et inversement, est réalisé par une rotation de cet ensemble autour d'un axe de rotation 11 passant par le bord latéral avant 5 de l'encadrement mobile 3 reçu dans ces logements.The displacement of the moving assembly from the release position to the closed position and vice versa, is achieved by a rotation of this assembly about an axis of rotation 11 passing through the front lateral edge 5 of the mobile frame 3 received in these dwellings.

Le bord latéral avant 5 de l'encadrement mobile 3 étant incliné, l'axe de rotation 11 est parallèle à ce bord latéral avant pour permettre à celui-ci d'être reçu dans les logements formés par les trois butées 6, 7, 8 fixes sur toute sa hauteur. L'encadrement mobile 3 comporte dans sa partie inférieure un bras d'extension 21 permettant au bord latéral avant 5 de cet encadrement mobile 3 de venir se placer sur cet axe de rotation 11 incliné.The front lateral edge 5 of the mobile frame 3 being inclined, the axis of rotation 11 is parallel to this front lateral edge to allow it to be received in the housing formed by the three stops 6, 7, 8 fixed on all his height. The mobile frame 3 comprises in its lower part an extension arm 21 allowing the front side edge 5 of the mobile frame 3 to be placed on the axis of rotation 11 inclined.

De préférence, chaque butée 6, 7, 8 comprend des moyens de réglage du jeu (non représentés) entre chacune des butées 6, 7, 8 et l'encadrement mobile 3 afin d'assurer le maintien du bord latéral avant 5 de l'encadrement en cas de choc à l'oiseau.Preferably, each stopper 6, 7, 8 comprises means for adjusting the play (not shown) between each of the stops 6, 7, 8 and the mobile frame 3 in order to maintain the front side edge 5 of the frame in case of shock to the bird.

Comme visible aux figures 1 et 3 à 5, les moyens de guidage et de support comportent un rail supérieur 12 et un rail inférieur 13 qui sont solidaires de l'encadrement fixe 1. Chacun de ces rails supérieur 12 et inférieur 13 comprend un fond et deux flancs, le rail ayant donc une section en forme de U.As visible to figures 1 and 3 to 5 , the guide and support means comprise an upper rail 12 and a lower rail 13 which are integral with the fixed frame 1. Each of these upper rails 12 and lower 13 comprises a bottom and two sides, the rail thus having a section U-shaped

Le rail inférieur 13 comprend une portion de rail principal 14 et une portion de rail secondaire 15 en communication avec cette portion de rail principal 14.Lower rail 13 comprises a main rail portion 14 and a secondary rail portion 15 in communication with this main rail portion 14.

Le bord latéral arrière 9, c'est-à-dire le bord dirigé vers l'arrière de l'aéronef, de l'encadrement mobile 3 réalise un mouvement de rotation entre la position de fermeture et la position de dégagement. Cette portion de rail secondaire 15 est inclinée par rapport à la portion de rail principal 14 et a une forme de portion de cercle (Figure 4).The rear lateral edge 9, that is to say the edge directed towards the rear of the aircraft, the movable frame 3 carries a rotational movement between the closed position and the release position. This portion of secondary rail 15 is inclined relative to the main rail portion 14 and has a shape of a portion of a circle ( Figure 4 ).

Chacun des moyens de guidage et de support comprend également une bille porteuse 16 (Figure 3) placée à l'extrémité d'un organe de support 17 qui est lui-même relié à l'ensemble mobile. De préférence, cet organe de support 17 comprend un corps principal et un corps secondaire solidaire de ce corps principal en étant mobile en translation par rapport à ce corps principal de sorte que la position de ce corps secondaire par rapport au corps principal peut être variée de manière à ajuster la position de l'ensemble mobile par rapport au fond de chaque rail.Each of the guiding and supporting means also comprises a bearing ball 16 ( Figure 3 ) placed at the end of a support member 17 which is itself connected to the movable assembly. Preferably, this support member 17 comprises a main body and a secondary body integral with this main body being movable in translation relative to this main body so that the position of this secondary body relative to the main body can be varied from in order to adjust the position of the moving assembly relative to the bottom of each rail.

Chaque bille porteuse 16 est mobile en rotation à l'extrémité de cet organe de support 17, ce qui permet avantageusement un roulement de cette bille porteuse dans plusieurs directions. Ainsi seule une telle bille porteuse autorise un passage de la portion de rail secondaire 15 courbe à la portion de rail principal 14 ayant une direction différente.Each bearing ball 16 is rotatable at the end of this support member 17, which advantageously allows a bearing of this bearing ball in several directions. Thus only such a ball carrier allows a passage of the curved secondary rail portion 15 to the main rail portion 14 having a different direction.

Chaque ensemble de support et de guidage comporte de plus un galet de roulement 18 pour assurer le guidage latéral de la bille porteuse dans les rails inférieur 13 et supérieur 12 correspondants.Each support and guide assembly further comprises a roller 18 to provide lateral guidance of the carrier ball in the lower rails 13 and 12 corresponding upper rails.

Une bille porteuse 16 est placée aux extrémités supérieure et inférieure de l'encadrement mobile 3 du côté du bord latéral 5 dirigé vers l'avant de l'aéronef, de cet encadrement mobile 3, ces billes porteuses 16 rendent possible la mise en rotation de l'ensemble mobile.A bearing ball 16 is placed at the upper and lower ends of the mobile frame 3 on the side of the lateral edge 5 directed towards the front of the aircraft, of this mobile frame 3, these bearing balls 16 make possible the rotation of the moving set.

L'organe de support de chaque bille porteuse est, par exemple, réalisé en acier zingué, les billes porteuses étant en acier inoxydable et les galets de roulement 18 en acier.The support member of each bearing ball is, for example, made of galvanized steel, the bearing balls being made of stainless steel and the rolling rollers 18 of steel.

Un de ces organes de support 17 a été positionné directement en dessous de l'ensemble mobile afin de supporter directement l'effort du poids de l'ensemble. Plus précisément, cet ensemble de support et de guidage est placé au niveau du bord latéral arrière 9 de l'encadrement mobile 3. Cet ensemble de support et de guidage comprend de plus un levier 19, ce levier étant mobile en rotation dans un plan parallèle au seuil de fenêtre. En bout de levier 19, un simple galet de roulement 20 suffit à créer le mouvement d'ouverture/fermeture du dispositif d'ouverture/fermeture de la fenêtre, en s'appuyant contre les flancs du rail inférieur 13.One of these support members 17 has been positioned directly below the moving assembly to directly support the effort of the weight of the assembly. More specifically, this support and guide assembly is placed at the rear lateral edge 9 of the mobile frame 3. This support and guide assembly further comprises a lever 19, this lever being rotatable in a parallel plane. at the window sill. At the end of the lever 19, a simple roller 20 is sufficient to create the opening / closing movement of the opening / closing device of the window, resting against the flanks of the lower rail 13.

Les flancs des rails supérieur 12 et inférieur 13 sont espacés d'une distance supérieure au diamètre des galets 18 entourant les organes supports 17. Les billes porteuses 16 ayant un contact ponctuel avec le fond de ces rails 12, 13, celui-ci comporte avantageusement un revêtement de surface protecteur. Ce fond pourra ainsi être durci par exemple par céramisation.The flanks of the upper and lower rails 12 and 12 are spaced apart by a greater distance than the diameter of the rollers 18 surrounding the support members 17. The bearing balls 16 having a point contact with the bottom of these rails 12, 13 advantageously comprise a protective surface coating. This bottom can be hardened, for example by ceramization.

La fenêtre comporte également un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage de l'ensemble mobile comprenant trois organes de blocage 22, ou verrous, placés uniquement sur le bord latéral arrière 9 de l'encadrement mobile 3 pour verrouiller l'ensemble mobile en position de fermeture.The window also comprises a locking / unlocking device of the mobile assembly comprising three locking members 22, or latches, placed only on the rear lateral edge 9 of the mobile frame 3 to lock the movable assembly in the closed position.

Avec un tel nombre d'organes de blocage 22 et leur positionnement sur le montant latéral arrière de l'encadrement mobile 3, il est avantageusement possible de diminuer de manière significative l'épaisseur de ce montant latéral arrière tout en assurant une résistance de la fenêtre au choc à l'oiseau.With such a large number of locking members 22 and their positioning on the rear lateral pillar of the mobile frame 3, it is advantageously possible to significantly reduce the thickness of the rear side pillar while ensuring a resistance of the window. to the shock to the bird.

Chaque organe de blocage 22 comporte un bras mobile coopérant avec une butée fixe 23 correspondante placée sur l'encadrement fixe 1 pour assurer le verrouillage de l'ensemble mobile en position de fermeture.Each locking member 22 comprises a movable arm cooperating with a corresponding fixed stop 23 placed on the fixed frame 1 to ensure the locking of the movable assembly in the closed position.

Chaque bras mobile comporte une partie plane 24 et est muni d'un galet 25 à son extrémité. Ainsi, par un mouvement de translation uniquement, chaque organe de blocage 22 vient rouler sur la butée fixe 23.Each movable arm has a flat portion 24 and is provided with a roller 25 at its end. Thus, by a translational movement only, each locking member 22 rolls on the fixed stop 23.

La butée fixe 23 comporte, sur sa partie qui entre en contact avec le galet 25 de l'organe de blocage, ou verrou 22, successivement une première pente 26, un plat 27 et une seconde pente 28.The fixed abutment 23 comprises, on its part which comes into contact with the roller 25 of the locking member, or latch 22, successively a first slope 26, a flat 27 and a second slope 28.

La forme de la butée fixe 23 permet avantageusement de retrouver les deux fonctions assurées par le principe d'arc-boutement des fenêtres de l'art antérieur.The shape of the fixed stop 23 advantageously allows to find the two functions provided by the bracing principle of the windows of the prior art.

La première pente 26 rencontrée par le galet 25 assure l'écrasement du joint (non représenté) tandis que la seconde pente 28 empêche le déverrouillage de l'ensemble mobile en cas de choc à l'oiseau. Cette seconde pente 28 permet aussi à la partie plane 24 du verrou de porter directement sur la butée fixe 23 : le choc à l'oiseau n'est pas repris par l'axe du galet mais bien par la partie plane 24 de l'organe de blocage 22 qui a alors une fonction de butée.The first slope 26 encountered by the roller 25 ensures the crushing of the seal (not shown) while the second slope 28 prevents the unlocking of the moving assembly in case of impact to the bird. This second slope 28 also allows the flat portion 24 of the bolt to bear directly on the fixed stop 23: the shock to the bird is not taken up by the axis of the roller but by the flat part 24 of the body blocking 22 which then has a stop function.

Au niveau de l'organe de manoeuvre de l'ensemble mobile, et afin de diminuer l'effort dû à la réaction du joint de l'encadrement mobile 3 durant son écrasement, le joint sera de préférence un joint « auto-gonflant ». Ce joint est troué sur toute sa périphérie ce qui permet de réduire considérablement l'effort de réaction tout en assurant l'étanchéité (30% de compression).At the level of the operating member of the moving assembly, and in order to reduce the force due to the reaction of the seal of the mobile frame 3 during its crushing, the seal will preferably be a "self-inflating" seal. This seal is perforated over its entire periphery which allows to significantly reduce the reaction force while ensuring the seal (30% compression).

La commande des verrous 22 placés sur le bord latéral arrière 9 de l'encadrement mobile 3 est obtenue par l'actionnement de la poignée 4 reliée par un levier 29, à deux cames de débrayage 30, 31 superposées.The control of the locks 22 placed on the rear lateral edge 9 of the mobile frame 3 is obtained by the actuation of the handle 4 connected by a lever 29, with two clutch cams 30, 31 superimposed.

Lors des 45 premiers degrés de rotation de la poignée 4 de manoeuvre, les verrous 22 sont actionnés par la came de débrayage 31, puis, pour les 90° degrés de rotation suivant de la poignée 4 de manoeuvre, l'autre came de débrayage 30 commande la libération de l'ensemble mobile.During the first 45 degrees of rotation of the operating handle 4, the latches 22 are actuated by the clutch cam 31, then, for the 90 ° of rotation following the operating handle 4, the other clutch cam 30 controls the release of the moving assembly.

Par conséquent le déverrouillage, puis la libération de l'ensemble mobile sont réalisés en 135° de rotation de la poignée 4.Therefore the unlocking, then the release of the moving assembly are made in 135 ° of rotation of the handle 4.

Le verrou 22 placé dans la partie inférieure du bord latéral arrière 9 étant avantageusement directement entraîné par la came de débrayage 31 par le biais d'une bielle 32, quant au verrou 22 placé dans sa partie supérieure, il est commandé par un câble de traction et de poussée 33 (appelé communément commande à billes ou en anglais « push pull cable ») de sorte que le mouvement du verrou de la partie inférieure entraîne celui du verrou de la partie supérieure.The latch 22 placed in the lower part of the rear lateral edge 9 is advantageously directly driven by the disengagement cam 31 by means of a connecting rod 32, as to the latch 22 placed in its part. superior, it is controlled by a traction and thrust cable 33 (commonly called ball drive or English "push-pull cable") so that the movement of the lock of the lower part drives that of the lock of the upper part.

Une pièce de liaison (non représentée) entre le verrou 22 de la partie supérieure du bord latéral arrière 9 et le câble de traction et de poussée 33 permet de rajouter le verrou intermédiaire 22. Cette pièce de liaison est juste guidée en translation sur l'encadrement mobile 3.A connecting piece (not shown) between the latch 22 of the upper part of the rear lateral edge 9 and the traction and thrust cable 33 makes it possible to add the intermediate lock 22. This connecting piece is just guided in translation on the mobile supervision 3.
